Renewed appeal on anniversary of couple's disappearance

Gardai in Ashbourne are renewing their appeal for information on the whereabouts of a young couple - on the first anniverary of their disappearance.

Willie Maughan - from Tallaght - and Anna Varslavane - from Latvia were reported missing from their home in Gormanston on the 14th of April 2015.

At the time, they'd been planning to move to live in Tallaght.

Willie - who was 34 when he disappeared, is described as 5 foot 8 in height, of athletic build, with a shaved head and green eyes, while Anna - who was 20, is 5 foot 6, of slim build, with long dark hair.

Gardai say they are extremely concerned for their welfare and safety, and are asking anyone with information to contact Ashbourne Garda Station, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 11 or any Garda Station.

They can also contact Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.

Callers do not need to leave their name or address, the information will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence and they may receive a reward for information which significantly helps Gardaí in their investigation.
